_ When I was just a lad of ten, my father [E] said to me,
Come here [C#m] and take a lesson [F#m] from the lovely lemon [E] tree.
Don't [G] put your faith in love, my [A] boy, my [G] father said [F#m] to me,
[F] I fear you'll [A] find that love is like [Bm] the lovely lemon [A] _
tree.
_ _ [D] Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon [A] flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor [B] lemon is impossible [D] to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet,
[A] But the fruit of the poor lemon is [C#] impossible [Bm] to eat.

_ One day [E] beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie,
A girl so [C#m] sweet that when she [F#m] smiled the stars [E] rose in the sky.
[A] We passed that summer lost [G] in love [Em] beneath the [F#m] lemon tree,
[F] The music of [A] her laughter [Bm] hid my [E] father's words [A] from me.
_ _ [D] _
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon [A] flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible [D] to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower [A] is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor [B] lemon is impossible [G] [Bm] to eat.
[B] _ _ One day she [E] left without a word, she took away the sun,
And in the dark [C#m] she'd left behind [F#m] I [B] knew what she [E] had done.
[A] She'd left me for another, it's a common [F#m] tale but true,
[F] A sadder [E] man but wiser now [B] I sing these words [A] to you.

[Bm] Tree very [D] pretty [Dm] and the lemon flower [A] is sweet,
